Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
Cut the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until just browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet. Add the cornstarch mixture, black pepper, and brown sugar. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Remove from heat and top with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve the stir-fry warm, optionally over steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
